What you asked for → what I bring
1+ years of product design
2+ years designing and shipping my own products end to end — Sip (App Store), FireCode AI (paying customer), and four interactive application sites.
A compelling portfolio — show us!
You're inside it. This site was designed and built for this application; every linked project is live and usable.
Obsessive over design details
See the Craft page — spring-tuned price motion, tabular numerals, intent-coded color, reduced-motion support. With the reasoning, not just the polish.
Customer intuition & consumer sensibility
Sip was designed for a real consumer moment (a loud bar, no Wi-Fi, one hand). FireCode came from six years inside the industry it serves.
Move fast in a dynamic environment
Solo founder speed: this entire site — design system, five pages, live market components — was scoped, designed, and shipped in days.
Passion for prediction markets
Built a prediction-market UI study (Market Pulse) before ever seeing this posting. The Markets page explains why this space has my full attention.
